ASSP Z9.1-2016 PDF Download

The ASSP Z9.1-2016 standard focuses on setting minimum requirements and criteria for the control and removal of air contaminants during operations involving open-surface tanks. Its primary objective is to safeguard the health and well-being of personnel involved in these activities, rather than addressing fire protection measures.

The standard emphasizes the importance of having effective ventilation systems in place to control and eliminate airborne contaminants. It specifies the design criteria that these ventilation systems must meet to ensure proper control of the air quality and protect workers from potential harmful exposures.

By providing these guidelines and requirements for ventilation and airborne contaminant control, the ASSP Z9.1-2016 standard acts as a valuable resource for industry professionals involved in open-surface tank operations. It assists them in establishing safe and healthy working conditions for personnel and minimizing the risk of adverse health effects associated with air contaminants in this specific work environment.
